Some Notable Absences at Comic-Con
With this year's San Diego Comic-Con just around the corner, now is normally the time that publishers, movie studios, comic creators and various other celebrities start making the kind of noises that get fans excited about what's to come. This year, however, things are starting out slightly differently with the news that Paramount Pictures and publisher Tokyopop won't be exhibiting at the show. More »

False Advertising In Star Trek Movie Posters: A Complete History
Movie posters used to be simple and dignified, until marketing departments realized that the more sensational the poster, the more ticket-buyers. It's like the cover of a comic book: You might see an image of Batman riddled with bullets and dead, but that never takes place in the actual story itself. Star Trek has been one of the guiltiest parties in sensationalizing its posters with odd artwork and strange taglines (perhaps second only to the James Bond movie posters), and we've collected them for you all in one spot in the list below.

Cloverfield Toy Revealed -- Start Canceling Your Preorders
Paramount has finally allowed Hasbro to release images of the Cloverfield toy, probably thinking that they've milked almost every possible box office dollar out of the thing. But based on the new pics, it's hard to imagine anybody shelling out a hundred bucks for this thing. When you stumble of the the theater after having your eardrums rattled and eyes blasted by shakycam monsterdom, it's easy to imagine wanting your own mini-monster. But the thing looks about as scary as a daddy longlegs that you'd find in the shower. Check out the images after the break. (The image to the left is from SOTA's Lovecraft-inspired Ultra Cthulhu.)

We're Starting To Think Cloverfield Has No Monster
Paramount released another photo from the upcoming Cloverfield yesterday, and it's nothing less than completely pointless.

Twelve new images from the upcoming monster film Cloverfield have been released online. But just like the new trailer, they sadly don't reveal anything new about the J.J. Abrams-produced thriller. If they keep releasing non-information to the masses, people are either going to turn out in droves to find out what it's all about or stay away and wait for the DVD. Paramount has been doing a stellar job of keeping the secret of Cloverfield under wraps, and the strategy is backfiring. Leaked photos from the set that reveal nothing but a bunch of people in hazmat suits aren't getting people excited.
All that's known about this film so far is that some sort of monster (or monsters) are terrorizing New York City More »
